I own Behringer Truth B2030A and does not like the sound of it.
The bass response is not good. But Mid and high is ok.
When i mixing with these monitors and then listen to the song in my homestereo or car stereo or whatever. The bass never sounds the same as in the studio...
However i produce Euro-vocal-trance music with alot of bass.
I'm thinking of buying:
"Genelec 8030A" and maby the Sub "Genelec 7050B".
Could this be a good alternative? Or is there any cheaper monitors with good sound?
I've heard that "Alesis Monitor One Mk2" should sound good.
But how is the bass response?
Have almost every studio monitor bad bass response so you have to buy a Sub...?

The gen's are used by a lot of producers but they always nearly have a sub to see what the bottom end is doing.
What ever monitors you get you need to learn them and see how they translate to other systems.
You can have the best monitors in the world and still make music that sound's like shit on other system's
Learn your monitors and keep ajusting the sound till they sound good on lot's of differnt systems.
I've heard producers that just mastered music on fruity and it sounded amazeing on both sets of my monitors and on lots of differnt systems in my house.
The same producers had no monitors or any fancy equipment, just a pc and creativ speakers, but they learned how to use what they had.
If you get new monitors learn them until you do the same.

They're fine, they're great value for the money. They are front ported which makes them easier to use in less than ideal acoustic environments. Stereo separation is excellent. I wouldn't say the bass response is fantastic, but they work really well for me, and thats because I know them. Thats the most important thing, to know your monitors.
Also don't forget that a room with bad acoustics will make even the most expensive monitors sound bad in the bass frequencies.

There is no magic monitor that will give you a mix that sounds awesome where ever you play it. Thats why ppl master different versions of tunes e.g for vinyl, radio, CD etc
The most important thing is that YOU KNOW YOUR MONITORS, that way you can adjust stuff in the mix so it will sound good when it's palyed out.
Better monitors give you access to issues that might not be picked up with bad monitors due to the increased clarity in their sound reproduction.
